Evolution and Distribution of the ospC Gene, a Transferable Serotype Determinant of Borrelia burgdorferi
Borrelia burgdorferi, an emerging bacterial pathogen, is maintained in nature by transmission from one vertebrate host to another by ticks. One of the few antigens against which mammals develop protective immunity is the highly polymorphic OspC protein, encoded by the ospC gene on the cp26 plasmid....
